Pretty much, no soul. Hard to explain why. The family tree is the main thing people latch onto but the game really lacks any sort of charisma:
- The unit portraits aren't interesting
- Too much complexity with no depth. Make food, make public order, make units.
- Tech tree is completely lame. +5% to X Diablo 3 style bonii.
- "Oh here, you can build legions now, just had to click end turn 10 times"
- Well my general I was trying to get attached to got wounded by ... something (probably internal politics or something), guess I have to replace them with random person #2.
- Traits are uber bland
- I click buttons WoW Style to make units do stuff(?), positioning doesn't matter because...
- The units just kinda blob and behave in uninteresting ways.
- Armor is borked so your super units die to missiles the same way a weak unit does.
- Same faces. What the hell CA?
- Cities pretty but dull looking because there's like only 2 layouts per cities. They are always the same sizes.
Anyone get a Master of Orion 3 vibe from this?
